Easter weekend treats

We're just coming to the end of a rather lovely Easter long weekend break, and I'm about to enjoy a nice cuppa with some (more) chocolate.  Easter Sunday started with Toblerone French Toast, courtesy of Bill Granger - which Mr J thought was a fantastic way to start the day, but his day brightened up even more with with a little Easter-egg hunt!  

Toblerone French Toast, Bill Granger

Ingredients: 
  • 3 eggs
  • 3/4 cup milk
  • 1 tbsp caster sugar (I left this out as it's sweet enuogh as it is!)
  • 8 slices brioche loaf (I couldn't find a brioche loaf, so I used an un-sliced loaf of fruit toast)
  • 25g unsalted butter
  • 100g Toblerone bar, chopped
Method:

  • Whisk together the eggs, milk and caster sugar (if using) into a flat dish
  • Melt the butter in a large frying pan over a medium heat.
  • Dip two slices of brioche into the egg mixture, turning them over until they are completely coated.  
  • Put the soaked brioche slices in the frying pan and sprinkle each one with a quarter of the chopped chocolate.
  • Soak another two slices of brioche in the egg mixture, and put on top of the bread in the pan to make sandwiches.  Press lightly with a spatula to seal the edges.
  • Cook for 2 - 3 mionutes on each side until golden brown.  Repeat for the other two sandwiches and serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!

  2. Oh yes it's definitly worth trying - it's a very indulgent breakfast, but I figure Easter only happens once a year so it's OK!
